Thank you

We appreciate you taking the time to help us.

Travelling with pets

We know your pets are part of your family, which is why we treat every animal who flies with us like a VIP.

On British Airways flights

If you’re travelling with a registered assistance dog, it can travel with you in the cabin on British Airways flights. All other pets travel in the hold as cargo. But don’t worry, your furry friends will be just as comfortable in the carefully controlled environment.

All British Airways cargo is handled by our sister company, IAG World Cargo. They have decades of experience transporting animals and will look after your pet as if it were their own.

OpenSkies

You can travel with your cat or dog on board OpenSkies, our non-stop service between Paris and New York, in economy and premium economy if they weigh less than 6kg/13.2lb. If they weigh more than 6kg/13.2lb they will need to travel in the hold as cargo.

Comair

Comair is our franchise partner operating flights in southern Africa under the British Airways brand. As on British Airways flights, only registered assistance dogs are allowed in the cabin. All other pets must travel in the hold as cargo.
